There are people who leave a mark on the world, and then there are people who change it entirely. Steve changed the world and so many lives in the process. He certainly changed my life forever. His spirit lives on in everything he created and everyone he inspired.
The @Tesla Cybercab changes everything. This is the iPhone moment, but for the automotive world.
• First true mass-produced, ground-up Robotaxi with no federal production limit
• First vehicle produced with the Revolutionary Unboxed Manufacturing Process.
• First high-volume vehicle targeting a ~10-second cycle time (long-term goal ~5 seconds vs 34 seconds for Model Y).
• First vehicle with Starlink Integration.
• First production EV with a record-breaking 165 Wh/mi efficiency.
• First autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals that you will be able to buy at a cost of ~$30,000.
• First Tesla built without a paint shop.
• First robotaxi with planned widespread wireless charging capability.
• First production Tesla that is front-wheel drive.
I am sure I am missing things, but man, what a historic moment!
🇺🇸 Elon said he’s down to drop $100 million so Mel Gibson can make a proper, historically accurate Odyssey adaptation.
This is the kind of project we actually need, not the woke garbage Hollywood is peddling.
Do it Elon 🙏

This is Elon Musk talking about the inner scorecard.
When Mohnish Pabrai and I had our charity lunch with Warren Buffett, we discussed it.
Warren put it like this:
Would you rather your partner know that you are the worst lover on the world, but have the world think that you are the best?
Or would you rather that it be the other way around - that you and partner know that you are the best lover in the world - even though the world thinks that you are the worst?
That's the inner scorecard. It changed my life. That's how you become a person of real value.
Elon Musk @elonmusk is doing it in spades - in so many ways. Indeed so fast that it hard to keep up with him.
The average millionaire is 57, not 21.
The average homeowner is 38, not 23.
The average business takes years to succeed,
not weeks.
The average person spends their 20s making mistakes, not mastering life.
You're not late, you're right on time.
23 years ago, we set out to prove that electric cars could be great – not just great electric cars, but the best cars overall.
We’ve gone from one electric sports car to
– Over 9 million vehicles on the road
– Model Y becoming the world’s best-selling car of any kind only 3 years after first deliveries
– 5 Gigafactories & other manufacturing sites across 3 continents
– The largest & most reliable fast charging network w/ over 80,000 Superchargers globally
– Energy generation & storage systems helping power homes & grids (over 1 million Powerwalls installed, 70+ GWh of industrial energy storage operating globally across 2,200+ projects)
Today, we’re bringing AI into the real world with autonomy @Tesla_AI and robotics @Tesla_Optimus.
Tesla is only getting started – a world of amazing abundance awaits
Tesla has announced that it will increase production output at its Giga Berlin factory by another 20% to 7,500 vehicles per week starting in October of this year.
This is in addition to the 20% production output increase previously announced a few months ago.
Tesla will hire 1,000 additional employees by October for this new increase in production.
"3,500 additional jobs will be created in the short and medium term for vehicle and battery manufacturing at the plant," Tesla said.
🇪🇸🇺🇸 Iberia's first Starlink plane just went live
Flight IB3267 left Madrid for São Paulo last night with WiFi that actually works, free for everyone on board, no cabin tiers, no per-hour meter ticking while you load a single email.
Speeds top out around 450 to 500 Mbps, basically home broadband at cruising altitude, and it runs gate to gate so you're online before the wheels even move.
This is just the first plane. Iberia plans to have Starlink on 35% of its long-haul fleet by the end of the year, and its owner IAG has signed up to fit more than 500 aircraft across British Airways, Ireland's Aer Lingus and Spain's budget carrier Vueling.
For an industry that spent years charging you by the hour for WiFi that barely loaded a map, that is a real shift.

🚨🇪🇸 Spain’s Socialist Scandal Explodes
Police just raided Pedro Sánchez’s PSOE headquarters over illegal financing.
Right after raiding ex-PM Zapatero, now probed for money laundering, kickbacks, and shady Venezuela-linked deals.
Sánchez’s wife, brother, and top aides are all drowning in corruption cases.
This is socialism: loot public money, enrich your circle, lecture the world.
Spain is sick of it. Sánchez must resign.
